Toys for iraqi children.
Bloggers Dean Esmay, Donald Sensing, and Chief Wiggles have organized an Iraqi Toy Drive for the youth of Iraq. The details are here. Be sure to read the comments for lots of good suggestions about inexpensive toys that will be suitable for Iraq's kids, and make sure you use the most recent mailing address for them (you're shipping the goods to Chief Wiggles at an APO address, so you're not paying for postage to Iraq).
I think I'll be hitting my local dollar store today to stock up on crayons and drawing paper, and I urge the rest of you to do the same. Or, there's always the option of visiting the Oriental Trading Company, which has loads of great stuff, and they will ship to an APO box. And don't miss the heartfelt review of the toy drive (and the condemnation of those who would oppose it) over at A Small Victory.
